SquirrelMail displays foreign character sets as html entities. That's the
way decoding works in SquirrelMail. It allows to display foreign
characters correctly.

Yes. But having unsupported characters in html form does not violate RFC
2046. HTML is defined in W3.org specifications and other rfc standards. It
is not defined in rfc2046. MIME standards are violated only when you
submit compose form in IE.

You don't like SquirrelMail defaults and are trying to force other default
value without realizing that forcing other value does not fix the issue.
You still can write Russian, Arabic or Chinese in ISO-8859-2 form.
